New Miami Dolphins Logo and Jersey

One of the most discussed off-the-field aspects of the Dolphins this year has been the possibility of a logo/uniform change for 2013.

Earlier today team CEO Mike Dee joined us on the show and continued to hint that there’s a very good chance of an adjustment coming. “I think there’s likely going to be some changes. How significant those are, we’ll have to wait and see.”

Dee had previously hinted that any adjustments would be more subtle than drastic, going so far as to tell fans that a Marlins-like overhaul would not be the direction the Dolphins would go, if they were to make a change.

Dee also said that the deadline for submitting changes for next season is “looming” and that “I think fans will be very excited with what they see down the road here shortly.”

Aside from logo talk, Dee also discussed South Florida’s bid for Super Bowl L in 2016 and the possibility of stadium upgrades that could go along with that:

“We’re working on, as much as we can, to figure out getting the stadium in the best possible condition. We’re going to put the best stadium we know in the bid, whatever that means. We’re not sure what that means right now, but whatever we can do to make the stadium as attractive as possible, we’re going to do it.”

As for on-the-field matters, Dee gave high praise to first-year head coach Joe Philbin. “It started the first day Joe walked in the building. The mood of the building was different and a lot of changes followed after that…it starts with culture, and Joe has a philosophy that just took over immediately. It’s great to see.”

Mix of classic and modern would be great. I'm not really a fan of the cartoon Dolphin. We're are turning into a quality, competitive organization; we need a logo that reflects that.

And how exactly do you change the dolphin so dramatically that it reflects the organization in the light of "quality and competitive"? A logo doesn't do that, the logo is nothing more than a visual representation of a brand and the only way the perspective of a brand is conveyed is by success. Changing the logo doesn't do anything, it has zero impact on anything involved on the organization other than making money because "people just have to have the new logo".

And another question, how the **** do you make a dolphin look more intimidating?

Like I said, make it a mix of classic and modern style; it reflects the successful past of the organization and the successful future. The style can reflect many different things. This team could've won 5 superbowls in the past decade and the cartoon dolphin still wouldn't represent "quality" and "competitive." It would still be every bit of Chuck E Cheese's best friend from the ocean.

Also, if you want to make the dolphins more intimidating, you put it in leather jacket with spikes, some smokes in the front pocket, and show it in the midst of eating a shark.

Please explain the G of the Packers and C of the Bears and how and why they represent quality and competitiveness - without mentioning anything they've ever done on the field.

They're simple, old-fashioned and therefore, represent the storied history of each franchise. We might as well put a swastika on our helmet because if we start winning games and championships it will represent competitiveness and success instead of Nazis and hate.

Ah, so the logos represent what those teams did on the field... The logos themselves represent nothing. I can come up with any old logo and it will be nothing until that logo becomes a brand of something, whether it be good or bad. I don't think you understand, evident by your response. Visually we could have the most badass, kickass looking logo ever, but it's not going to represent that if the team was to lose every game of the season.

As for the swastika; a childish example and entry false, especially considering the massive impact it's already had on the world.

In the end, no change of the logo is going to show, prove or represent anything if the intentions of the logo are not shown on the field where ultimately the perception of te team is derived from. When you see the Lions logo, you think of a sucky, undisciplined team; not something that is "quality" or "competitive".

Anyway, I'm tired of repeating myself, so I'm going to ramble on about ideas for the logo, and there's really not many. Seriously, there's no significant change you could make for it to even come close to remotely conveying the idea that the dolphins are "quality" and "competitive".
